Man who cleans the mess and that big log up?

That wood seems really white, is it light? Also seemed dead.
Loui, my collegue came up to take the shots. I only had one pair of spikes so he was cursing me for making him scramble up the tree....he doesn't climb very often so was really feeling it by the time he got up there.

The mess was staying put for wildlife habitat's. The brush will just get pushed into piles with a digger and the trunk will be left as is. Its very rare we'll remove debri (with no commercial value) from a woodland, its always best to give it back.

Beech is pretty heavy stuff, but nice to work with.
